［Returning home to the hometown of my heart (10)
［On the 10th round of drinks at Sake 47 Todofuken, the waitress told us that last order was due, so we made our last call with a dish from the lineup that had stuck in our memory and caught our attention 🍶.
Ai no Sato Junmai.
I had been curious about this sake ever since I first saw it on the menu, and after ordering it, I was convinced that it was from the same brewery as "Hana-yosu" 😲.
The aroma is full of umami, the mouthfeel is juicy and sweet with a hint of pineapple, and the taste has a calm sharpness, a mild aftertaste, and a lingering bitterness on the tongue.
A "food sake" made by the Nanyo Shuzo brewery, which also produces "Hana-yosu", it has a fruity flavor, but its sharpness and bitterness would certainly go well with a meal 🥰.
For dessert, I ordered the "Tsukimi Beef Stewed Rice" 😋.
After that, we walked to Osaka Station to sober up and headed home.
This completes the "return to the hometown of my heart" section ✨.
I'm drunk! I guess I'll just have to hang on until next year's vacation 🤣.

We took this sake to Hashimoto Shoten in Kumagaya last month. Hanahayo is not so easy to find, so it is a regular sake.
It is better as a food sake than as a stand-alone sake. I ate too much for lunch that day and didn't have much of an appetite for dinner, but this sake made my meal go better. I also tried heating sake, but I think I prefer this one 🍶.
The sweetness of Junmai comes in a fluffy way, but I wonder if it is dry 🍶 It is sharp and delicious 😋.
It is delicious 😋 It was delicious with autumn swordfish.
I enjoyed it 👍
This year's swordfish is as delicious as the rumors say!
I bought this at the third liquor store in Saitama. I bought a bottle of Ai-no-Sato, which is made in the same brewery, because I couldn't carry that much sake with me.
I bought the Ai-no-Sato because it was made by the same brewery, and although it had a slightly gorgeous aroma and flavor, perhaps from the acidity, the base was quite light and, to be honest, it was too much for me at the moment. So I tried mixing it with tonic water, which I had wanted to try for some time, and it was delicious. However, I feel that the sake flavor is almost gone, so I guess it's a last resort...
Good morning, freelancer first generation man 😃.
The 5-6 bottle tying purchase requirement is kibby 😓 after reading your review 🧐 for us, Ai no Go might be a better fit than Huayangyu 😋.
Good morning, J&N!
I visited there by train and on foot, impossible conditions for me 😓I think J&N will be able to make it since many people highly praise Ai-no-Sato and Sake-no-wa 😌I have an impression that it is like Hakkaisan with cold sake....

One day I went to the store in search of Hana-yoso. But there was none at all. Personally, I think that Hanahayo Kuyu and Katsuma are really illusions. But that aside, as I went around the shelves of the liquor store, I found a four-pack of Hanayo Kuyu, a sake for local consumption. Well, I thought I'd give it a try. So here we go!
The aroma is mild, but sweet and sour like pineapple. The slightly viscous brewing water has a slight pineapple sweetness and a simple umami flavor. This is neither too broad nor too moderate, but has a good sense of moderation. The bitterness and sharpness are longer than other sake, and the lingering aftertaste is truly wonderful. It is a little like Kikusen's Tasake, but drier than Kikusen, so I thought it would be good for those who have been drinking light, dry sake for a long time and want to try a modern sweet and fruity sake to start off with this one. Thank you again for your kindness tonight!
The mouthfeel is robust. The sweetness comes softly, followed by sourness and a touch of alcohol. The aftertaste slowly fades away, leaving a hint of sweetness. Delicious!
